Jerry Come Back, We Miss you

The Angels are really starting to feel the effect of losing their general manager Jerry Dipoto, who resigned earlier this season after a highly publicized, tumultuous relationship with long time Angels’ manager Mike Scioscia. With the trade deadline rapidly approaching the Angels’ front office like all other teams in baseball are trying its best to add the last minute pieces to their puzzle. Dipoto, in season last year, somehow was able to makeover a struggling Angels’ bullpen and make it into strength for the team. He added Jason Grilli from the Pirates and Huston Street from the Padres, to solidify the back end of the pen last year and in the same trade that brought Street also included a young hard throwing right hander in Trevor Gott who has been a key part to this year’s bull pen.
